Camping in the Rain

We made it down to Lithia Springs before 5:00pm, our camp site was hard to back into but Fede was here to save the day. He is used to driving huge rigs, our little camper was a breeze for HIM!
We were hot,hot hot and could hardly jump in Lake Shelbyville quick enough. Dan was loading up a bunch of campers for the first boat ride to explore the lake for tomorrow. They had a great time and came back hungry. Dan's boat works well. Ruth invited us for dinner, Fede grilled way to many pork chops, Ruth had fresh corn on the cob, Romainian salad, new potatoes and sweet red grapes finished out the delicious meal.
After dinner a storm started rolling in so we all retired to our respective campers.
Rhoda took the puppies to the vet today for their first well puppy checkup. A fecal count was done on them and it came back ZERO! They wormed them anyway just in case. Rhoda was late getting back, telling me the puppies were a hit and everyone wanted to play with them. Each pup was weighed, they were all over 7 pounds with some almost 8 pounds at 5 weeks old (today). These pups are going to be HUGE!
When Rhoda arrived back at the farm she led Jenis out of the stall for the first time since her colt was born. He was so funny, not wanting to go at first, then starting to run around and enjoy his freedom. I was able to snap a few pictures for the website and upload them before Mark was ready to leave.
We are ready to turn in with the comforting sound of rain hitting the roof, lulling us to sleep.
